Generators

Seeing all the lines of people with gas cans at gas stations made me post this message. Stores will sell anyone a generator to take home to use. How you use it and where you put this generator should be well thought out. The generator will create fumes that could make you sick or kill you if used inside your home. Sounds silly to think someone would ,but I have seen people have them in there garage or porch area. Also the generator should be checked for oil at each time you need to add gas. SHUT OFF the generator when adding gas and checking the oil.
